1.0 SAFETY WARNINGS
Please read and observe all warnings contained in this operations manual before any attempt to
operate the equipment.
Misuse of Equipment
Misuse of the Equipment can cause serious injury. Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.
Care should be taken to prevent over pressurization of the pump or accessories connected to it. Use
only proper parts in good condition. Use the pump only with compatible fluids. Improper use or
misuse of this equipment could result in fluid being splashed on the skin or in the eyes, serious bodily
injury, property damage, fire or explosion.
Make daily check on the equipment and repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
Do not alter this equipment, doing so could cause it to function incorrectly and could cause serious
injury.
Material & Fluid compatibility
Always ensure the chemical compatibility of the fluids and solvents with the wetted parts in the pump
and any components. Check the fluid manufacturer’s data sheets and specifications before using the
fluids or solvents in this pump.
Pressurized Hoses
Because the hoses are pressurized, they present a danger should the fluid escape at high pressure.
This escaping fluid pressure can spray out and cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
Ensure that the hoses do not leak or rupture due to wear, misuse or damage.
The hoses should be handled properly - do not pull on the hoses to move the equipment around. Use
the hoses only for fluids in which they are compatible both for the inner liner of the hose and the outer
covering. Use care not to exceed the temperature rating of the hose.
Before each use, ensure that the fluid couplings are tight and that the entire length of hose is not
worn or damaged. Check the entire hose for leaks, bulging cover, damage, abrasion or cuts. These
conditions may cause the hose to fail that could result in splashing of pressurized fluid on the skin, or
in the eyes and cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
Pressure Specification
The maximum working fluid pressure of this equipment is 180 psi (12.5bar) at the maximum incoming
air pressure of 180 psi (12.5bar). Ensure all equipment and accessories used with this pump are
rated to withstand the maximum working pressure of this pump. Never exceed the maximum working
pressure of the pump or any device attached to the pump.
Procedure for Pressure Relief
In order to avoid the risk of serious bodily injury such as splashing fluid on the skin or in the eyes, or
risk of injury from moving parts, the following procedure should be used. This procedure should be
used when shutting down the pump, when servicing or repairing the pump or any part of the system,
when replacing or cleaning components, or when pumping of fluid is stopped.
1. Close the air valve to the pump.

5
2. Use the air bleed down valve (see installation instructions) to relieve the air pressure in the
system.
3. Relieve the fluid pressure by holding a grounded metal pail in contact with the metal part of the
fluid dispense valve and slowly opening the valve.
4. With a container ready to catch the fluid open the drain valve (see installation instructions).
5. It is a good practice to leave the drain valve open until it is time to dispense fluid again.
If you are unsure that the fluid pressure has been relieved (due to a blockage in a component or a
hose) be careful to relieve the pressure by slowly loosening the hose end coupling to allow the fluid
pressure to escape slowly. After the pressure has been relieved, the fitting can be removed
completely and any blockages removed.
Flush the Pump before Using It
1. The pump is tested with lightweight DOP oil, which is left in to protect the pump parts. If the
fluid you are pumping may contaminated by oil, Flush out the oil with a compatible solvent
before using the pump. Follow the Flushing Instruction below:
.
2. If you are pumping fluid that dries, harden or sets up, flush the system with a compatible
solvent as often as necessary to prevent build-up of dried fluid in the pump or hoses.
3. If the pump is being used to supply a circulating system, allow the solvent to circulate through
the entire system for at least 30 minutes every 48hrs, or more often if the necessary to prevent
settling.
4. Always fill the wet -cup with 1/2 full of throat seal liquid (TSL) or compatible solvent to keep the
fluid from drying on the displacement rod and damaging pump throat packing.
5. Lubricate the throat packing frequently, when you are pumping a non-lubricating fluid, or are
shutting down for more than a few days.
Shut down & care of the Pump
For Overnight shut down, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure.
Always stop the pump at bottom of the stroke to prevent the fluid from drying on the exposed
displacement rod and damaging the throat packing.
Warning
To reduce the risk of static sparking or splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin, follow
the Pressure Relief Procedure before Flushing.
For your safety, read the Fire or Explosion Hazard before flushing and follow all the
recommendations.

Hazards from Fire or Explosion
Hazards exist when sparks can ignite vapors or fumes from flammable or combustible materials or
other hazardous conditions (explosive dusts, etc.). These sparks can be created from plugging in or
unplugging an electrical supply cord. Sparks can also be created from the static electricity generated
by the flow of fluid through the pump and hose.
Every part of the equipment must be properly grounded to prevent static electricity from generating a
spark and causing the pump or system to become hazardous. These sparks can cause a fire,
explosion, and serious bodily injury and property damage. Ensure that the pump and all components
and accessories are properly grounded and that electrical supply cords are not plugged in or
unplugged when these hazards exist.
Should any evidence of static electricity (sparks or small shocks while in contact with the equipment)
exists, discontinue the operation immediately. Investigate the source of the static electricity and
correct the grounding problem. Do not use the system until the grounding problem is repaired.
Grounding Procedures
Grounding of the pump and all other dispensing equipment is necessary to minimize the possibility of
sparks due to static electricity. Grounding must be in compliance with local electrical codes. Check
with the local authorities for requirements in your area and with the type of equipment being used.
Ensure that all the following equipment is grounded:
1. Air Compressor: Follow the grounding procedures as recommended
by the manufacturer.
2. Air Hoses: Use grounded air hoses.
3. Fluid Container used to
supply the system: Grounding must be done according to local codes.
4. Pump: Follow the procedures included referring to Figure 1.
5. Fluid Hoses: Use grounded fluid hoses.
6. Dispensing Valve: The valve must be metal to conduct through the fluid hose
to the pump which must be properly grounded.
7. Dispensing Point: Grounding must be done according to local codes.
8. Solvent Containers: Grounding must be done according to local codes. Use metal
conductive pails that are properly grounded.
9. Grounding while Maintain conductivity by firmly holding the metal part of the
dispensing, cleaning, dispensing valve to the side of a grounded metal container
or relieving pressure:

FIGURE 1
Grounding the Pump:
Follow these procedures for grounding the pump. Loosen the lock screw (W) to allow insertion of one
end of a 12 gauge minimum size wire into the hole in the side of the lug (Z). Insert the wire (Y) and
tighten the lock screw securely. The other end of the ground wire must be secured to a true earth
ground.
Hose Grounding:
It is very important that the hoses used for both air and the fluid be a grounding type and that this
ground continuity is maintained. Regular checks of the hose ground resistance (with a resistance
meter using a suitable range) and a comparison to the Manufacturer’s Specification will ensure the
ground is within specifications. If it is not within specified limits it should be replaced immediately.
Solvent Cleaning:
While cleaning the system with solvent, hold the metal part of the dispensing valve in contact with a
grounded metal pail to minimize the possibility of splashing fluid on the skin or in the eyes or static
sparks. Use low fluid pressure for additional safety.
Hazards From Moving Parts:
Use the Pressure Relief Procedure to prevent the pump from starting unintentionally when not
desired. Take care that moving parts present a pinching hazard to fingers or other body parts. Stay
clear of these moving parts when starting or operating the pump.
Safety Standards:
Safety standards have been established by the United States Government under the Occupational
Safety and Health Act. These standards should be consulted as they apply to the hazards and type of
equipment being used.

2.1 Mounting Configuration
Install the necessary accessories in sequence using Figure 2 as a guide. An Air Control Valve (K) for
Controlling air flow is required with the equipment. To minimize the risk of serious bodily injury such
as splashing fluid on the skin or in the eyes or risk of injury from moving parts, install the following
accessories in your system.
1. Bleed-off master air valve (D)
This valve will relieve the air trapped within the system after the pump is stopped. Air that is
trapped between this valve and the pump can cause the pump to reciprocate unintentionally,
which may cause harm to the operator.
2. Fluid Drain Valve (G)
The fluid drain valve (use a metal valve for grounding purposes) is installed to relieve fluid
pressure in the pump, hose or the dispensing valve when the pump is stopped. The relief of
pressure by the dispensing valve, which at times is inadequate if there is a clog or restricted
passage in the hose or the dispensing valve, can be achieved by using this fluid drain valve
(G).
Connect an air lubricator (C). The lubricator provides proper lubrication to the air motor. (see daily
maintenance check). Next, install a bleed-off master air valve (D). This valve is required in your
system to relieve trapped air (as explained above).
Air Filter (E) helps to remove dirt and foreign particles from the supply air, water moisture also will be
trapped within this filter. Be sure to release the trapped water daily as a good housekeeping practice
(Also see daily maintenance check). Connect a grounded air supply hose for the supply of air.
For the fluid section, connect one fluid drain valve (G) directly after the outlet of the pump. Be sure to
connect it pointing downwards for safety. Connect a grounded fluid hose (M) to the fluid outlet 3/4”
NPT(female).
Grounding of the pump and accessories are to be ensured before operation. Observe all
OSHA regulations and other safety regulations.
